One of the biggest release weeks of the entire year is upon us, as Nintendo’s main man, Mario, releases his first 2D title in more than a decade with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Sean’s been playing it and has plenty of first impressions of the Flower Kingdom, the elephant powers, the cool moments with the Wonder effects, and more!
But that’s not all as Randy Isbelle joins Sean again this week and he has some early impressions of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, if there’s anything that’s really changed about the game from the other two titles, the world, and more. They also discuss the cost versus length debate that’s sprung up regarding the game and if a Venom spin-off title would be a great idea. Randy also talks about the Resident Evil 4 Remake Separate Ways DLC.
Also, Phil Spencer went on the official Xbox podcast and gave some big details regarding the Activision-Blizzard deal, when we could expect ABK titles to hit Game Pass, and more.
The guys also discuss some personal favorite games they’d like to see come back or get some type of Remaster/Remake now that Microsoft owns ABK. Plus, will Epic succeed in getting older games to appear in droves on their Epic Games Store? And some interesting details from the latest Circana (formerly NPD) Report too.
